SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AmeriCorps is the national service program
that engages Americans of all ages and backgrounds in meeting critical
education, public safety, environmental, and other human needs. Each
year, the Corporation for National Service provides funds to programs
operated by Indian Tribes and organizations representing Alaska Natives
to support projects such as tutoring children, restoring streams and
parks, building playgrounds and housing, assisting elders, and serving
in health clinics.
The America Reads Challenge is a comprehensive, nationwide effort
to create in-school, after-school, weekend, and summer tutoring
programs in reading. Working to support the efforts of teachers and
parents, this Challenge calls on Americans in all fields--schools,
libraries, religious organizations, universities, community and
national groups, and cultural organizations, as well as college
students, business leaders, and senior citizens--to ensure that every
child can read independently by the end of the third grade.
